[flext] Problem building flext on Win10 for Max8

[Jamie Bullock]

Hi Ico,

I have been successfully building flext 64-bit on Windows with Visual Studio using my fork: https://github.com/jamiebullock/flext/commits/master <https://github.com/jamiebullock/flext/commits/master>

As you can see I’ve made some changes to support 64-bit, but at present I haven’t tried building on a clean system and haven’t fully checked I haven’t broken anything (although everything seems OK so far!)

You are welcome to use my fork, but YMMV. Let me know any issues if you do use it. Can’t guarantee how quickly I could fix anything, but my plan is to submit a PR to Thomas’s upstream code at some point.

Cheers,

Jamie
